A/N: Here it is guys. I am soooooo sorry I didn't give any warnings, but this is the last chapter. I honestly thought this story was going to be at least 15 chapters when I started it, but I already finished the plot! Whoops! Heh, I kinda dry of inspiration at this point anyway. I'll do my closing statements at the end author's note.

Disclaimer:I don't own the Pokemon Adventures manga or any of its characters. I do own Aurora Herz.

Fubja: Thanks for reviewing! Glad you liked it :D

Guest: Hehe I was doing the same as you! If you lit off fireworks in your stomach, that's what it felt like writing this, if you know what I mean XD I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did ^0^/

Silver's embrace just felt so right. I felt safe with his arms around me. All of my emotions still danced around in my chest like a million Beautifly, but exhaustion from the day soon caught up with me. I cuddled into him, relaxing.

The sound of a shutter came from behind a bush. Both Silver and I tensed, knowing exactly who it was.

"I thought I put you on vibrate!" Blue yelled at her phone. We broke apart, staring at the bush.

"You can come out, Blue." Silver announced. The girl walked out from behind the bush with her hands up like a fugitive. Silver and I gave her an unimpressed look.

"Sorry I interrupted…" We both flushed slightly. She sounded genuine, probably because she wanted to spy on us longer.

A breeze blew by and sent a chill down my body. The sun had just hidden under the horizon and the air had become chillier. I heard the sound of a zipper, and soon felt the warmth of a jacket around my shoulders. I looked up to Silver and smiled, to which he turned away with a blush on his cheeks. His jacket was soft and worn and smelled like freezing wind. 'I could get used to this.'

Blue smiled at us. "I'm happy for you guys. You both deserve this, really." I looked down, smiling sheepishly, scraping the dirt with my shoe.

"Blue…" I replied quietly.

Said girl spoke with passion in her voice. "I really mean it."

'Wait a second… It's getting dark!' Just then I remembered an important detail. My head snapped up.

"Oh my gosh, I need to get home!" I exclaimed.

"Well, I was just gonna take my leave anyways. I'm guessing you're coming back to my house, Silver?" The red head gave a nod. All three of us headed back through the trail in which we came. The brunette started one way, while Silver and I headed back towards my house. There we were, walking down a dusky sidewalk, understanding each other for the very first time. Our arms brushed against each other as we made the treck. The silver-eyed boy took my hand in his, intertwining our fair fingers. His hand was soft and fit perfectly in mine. We walked along in a comfortable silence until we reached my driveway. I turned to him.

"Thank you for everything." I said to Silver. For the first time, I saw a real smile cross Silver's lips. His silver orbs lit up. They were far more beautiful than any piece of jewelry I had ever seen: they held a certain luster to them that showed the pain, but shimmered with a sense of overcoming. I could have stared into them all day, but I had to get in before my dad killed me.

"Aurora, I should be the one thanking you." Silver muttered so only I could hear. He pulled me into a kiss, this one lasting a lot shorter than the first.

"I gotta go now." I giggled, pulling away. I then slipped off his jacket hesitantly. "Thanks again." He took it back and slipped it over his pale arms, like I imagined he had done a million times before. We finally had to part ways. "I'll probably see you sometime this break, right?"

"Yeah, I'll text ya." Silver responded. I smiled and gave a small wave as I walked back into my house. As soon as I entered, I ran as fast as I could to my room. To my surprise, my mother was waiting for me in the hallway..

"So, you got a boyfriend now, I see." She stood by my room, knowing that's where I would go. I blushed heavily.

"Uhhh… ummm... welll… errr…" My mouth couldn't make words. The woman came and put a hand on my shoulder.

"It's okay, I'm just teasin'. I've heard enough from Blue to know that this guy's good." With that she walked away down the hall, leaving me speechless and dumbfounded with my mouth hanging open. 'I'm gonna have to ask her about it later…' I turned on my heel, stepped into my room, and closed the door behind me, picking up my laptop on the way to my chair.

When I thought no one was paying attention any longer, I grabbed my psychic companion and jumped around squealing. The poor Pokemon struggled to escape my grasp as I bounced around my room jubiously. I finally loosened my grip on her and flopped on my chair, panting from the sudden exertion. I opened my laptop and my fingers started their dance once more.

I closed the silver device with a soft, fluid motion. Feeling a slight ache in my back, I stretched and took a deep breath out, taking in everything that had just happened.

'Everything is just so… surreal. Almost like a fairy tale. Hmm, maybe it would make a good book…'

A/N: That's it! Fine! Das Ende! I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now, to be honest. I feel happy at the creation I've just finished, but sad that it's over. Well, enough about me, I want to thank each and every one of you for reading, following, and favoriting. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this. Without you guys I would just be some weirdo on Google Docs writing to no one (which I kinda am XD).

If you guys liked this story, or like other Pokemon fanfics, check out my profile. I have three other oneshots there for Pokemon. Also, I do have a Wattpad where I post more personal fun stuff. The link is on my bio (my username on there is exactly what it is here, too). This actual story is done, but I will be posting 'bonus features' if you will on my Wattpad and here, like scenes I decided to leave out, first drafts, and other characters' POV oneshots. And I've been wanting to say this for a long time: I will be changing the cover. I know it sucks right now, but I promise, I do have a better one in the works.

Last thing, please please please vote on my poll! I need to know what you guys want.

Thank you guys again for reading and sticking with me through this journey. It has been so much fun! Hope to see you guys again!

Have a fabu life, my little Torchics. Love you~
